    Where's that grill for the top Sc4mpi :eyebrow:

    And either countersunk or button head allen bolts would be cool!

    Do you have any plans about the case other than the pump?I want very much to see that front panel modded.

    Dont care. Countersunks would look 10x better.

    i actually prefer the way it looks with the current bolts

    the problem if he changed the mounting bolts to countersunk is that the fass's acrylic plate bolts arent countersunk, which imo would look odd

    if he were going to change the mounting bolts to CSK then if he didnt change the fass's (which you cant, you cant countersink the acrylic because its so close to the edge) it just wouldnt look right, and there isnt any benefit from using CSK bolts, so whats the point?

    the thermochill grills are lovely, but theyre a bit too shiny and would look a bit out of place ontop with all the silver thats there.!

    cant say it looks better with the silver grill but it seems it goes up with the fass-o-matics.What will be the theme of the case?
    Can you spoil some details about the front?

    I've been reading every bit of your other logs and cant wait for this one as i'm picking the same case soon.

    edit:where did you bought the bolts from the top?
